Blank Reward Certificates for rewarding especially good behaviour or merit worthy achievements
If you value the certificate, so will your child. Write carefully and neatly, copy a flourishing script from the web, or line up the dadcando pdf template printable with a word processed document which just has the name and achievement positioned exactly in the right place (hold up to the light to check), and print out the name and achievement over the already printed out certificate. However you do it, make it as neat as possible. Remember the certificate is a special thing with a value to your child, so make sure their name is clearly and neatly written. Once you have awarded the certificate, display it somewhere prominently or keep it in a special folder, scrapbook or even frame it. Later, in years to come, little things like this serve to mark happy or significant times and special achievements, and so are lovely things to keep. . . .There are four colours of the full page certificate to choose from so you can select the most appropriate colour or use more than one for different children or for the same child for different achievements.. . .
There are many reasons for rewards, but here are a few ideas to get you going.

Rosettes & certificates

Every child likes to know that all the effort they put into doing what is expected of them is appreciated and recognised so it should come as no surprise that they enjoy getting certificates. Certificates (and even rosettes) are a simple, but highly effective way of praising good behaviour, or formally marking a special achievement. Of course the rosettes are very easy to make and we supply the beautiful templates and simpe to follow instructions you will need to make them, in one of five colours.

We have also designed some special certificates. These look great, in fact, they wouldn't look out of place on an office wall, and like everything else on dadcando, they're all designed to be original, with a completely professional look and to be easy for you to download and use. Each certificate has a place for the child's name and the achievement to be written in, together with a place for you to sign and date the certificate.

The certificates come in two different sizes, full and half page (although each prints out on a full page of paper).

There are four colours of each certificate so you can select the most appropriate colour or use more than one for different children or for the same child for different achievements.
To make your child’s certificate really special, you could print it out on a special light weight card or thick parchment pattern paper. If you want to really make it perfetc why not run a silver or gold marker round the edge of the paper.
